PILOT PROJECTS

ZERO BRINE consists of 4 pilot projects in different partner countries that each show a respective industry where the elements in wastewater can be recovered. Using different technologies, these pilot projects include: a water treatment plant in the Netherlands using nanofiltration, crystallization and ion exchange; a coal mine in Poland using reverse osmosis and electrodialysis; a silica plant in Spain using forward feed evaporation technologies; and a textile plant in Turkey using ion exchange and oxidation technologies.
